Seasonal shifts can bring out different seasonal allergies. Spring allergies are the most common compared to other seasons, with pollen being the most prevalent allergen. Spring allergy symptoms can be difficult to manage and can be confusing to diagnose because they often come and go with exposure to allergens.

Common Spring Allergy Symptoms
Pollen produced by flowers, trees, and grasses is the most prevalent cause of spring allergies. When this pollen is inhaled or comes into contact with the skin, it sets off an allergic reaction and causes your immune system to activate and try to fight off the allergens. As a result, seasonal allergies can cause many different symptoms. Common seasonal allergy symptoms to watch out for include:
- Sneezing
- Runny nose
- Swollen eyes
- Post-nasal drip
- Watery eyes
- Itchy eyes
- Fatigue
- Sore throat
- Hives
Do Seasonal Allergy Symptoms Come and Go?
Seasonal allergies can impact everyone differently. How severe your symptoms are will depend on how allergic you are to certain allergens and how often you’re exposed to them. Seasonal allergy symptoms commonly come and go with exposure. This means that your allergy symptoms may flare up when you’re spending lots of time outdoors, but you may notice they go away when you’re at work or at home. In order to prevent allergy symptoms from occurring, it is important to have an allergy maintenance plan in place so that you can prevent and manage your symptoms.
Tips for Managing Spring Allergies
Spring allergies happen due to exposure to allergens. This being said, avoiding contact with known allergens when possible will help reduce symptoms. Sometimes, it is not entirely possible to avoid allergens. This is especially true with spring allergens like pollen, which can float around in the air. Taking a daily antihistamine can reduce the immune response your body has to allergen exposure which can limit symptoms. Similarly, using symptom-specific treatments like eye drops, nasal sprays, and topical creams when symptoms flare up can all help you stay comfortable.
